8 Responses to Safeslider is Easy to Install

I will soon purchase a replacement patio door and wish to install a “Safe Slider Double Bolt” device. I have read the reviews and noticed that it will not fit every door due to a difference in the jams prohibiting proper installation of the Safe Slider. What should I look for in the new door to make sure my Safe Slider will fit ???

Can we leave the existing handle and flip-type lock on our sliding door and just install the safeslider above the existing lock? The handle is polished brass and looks nice, so we wouldn’t want to have to take that off. Thanks for your help.

Hello
My door jamb surface is not entirely flat. It has a 1/8 inch wide recessed groove running down the middle. Will the provided screws be long enough if I have to drill there? If yes, will it be just as secure as a flat door jamb surface? Thanks!
